Expanding sales channels means that we can no longer limit our focus to sales in just one country.
After all, the only foreign language offered by the Jiangci Association is English. Negotiations with other countries would require specialized diplomats, so her team needs to be expanded.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs also felt it was necessary, so he granted Jiang Ci the right to select cadres. After the list was finalized, it was submitted, and then the Minister made the final decision.
Jiang Ci had anticipated this and had observed several people beforehand. She originally intended to recommend them to the minister, but the minister gave her the right to select cadres, so Jiang Ci naturally did not refuse and quickly submitted the prepared list.
The minister looked at her, smiled, and pointed at her, saying, "You're going to try and recruit all the talent from the European and North American departments."
Jiang Ci smiled shyly, "I even chose someone from the Protocol Department."
“You’ve chosen the pillars of each department, I can’t approve them all for you.” The minister shook his head and said with a smile, adding and subtracting from the list Jiang Ci submitted, and then returned the list to her. “The people I added are of varying ages, but they are all calm and meticulous in their work. You can give them a try.”
"If they can be recommended by you, Minister, they must have something special about them."
Jiang Ci glanced at it, then quickly put it away. "That proposal about tea sales..."
"Although the Ministry of Foreign Trade is interested, this matter still needs to be reported to higher authorities. Once it's approved, you can proceed," the minister explained, looking at her with mixed feelings. "Comrade Xiao Jiang, you're really quite capable."
Most economies today are group-based, with everyone performing their own duties. Each position is a one-person job, and there are very few serious ideas that can be put forward for economic reform and adjustment.
Jiangci expanded its trade connections from selling tea to country Y to no fewer than five countries, which not only generated revenue but, more importantly, created no fewer than a thousand jobs.
If the proposal is submitted to higher authorities and approved, the credit will go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Jiangci, as the person in charge, deserves the most credit.
The minister simply gave her a chance, and she reaped considerable rewards; of course, he was happy.
Jiang Ci smiled shyly again, "This is all the ability I have. I wouldn't dare to show off my limited skills in front of the minister."
The minister smiled and said, "Before the New Year, you should focus on finishing your work. In fifteen days, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will also be on holiday. We can talk about the rest when we start work next year."
"Okay." Jiang Ci nodded. "Minister, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now."
"good."
Jiang Ci came out of the office and bumped into the logistics director. "Hello, Director."
"Comrade Xiao Jiang is here to see the minister?"
Jiang Ci sighed and smiled, "We've finished talking, so I won't disturb the director and minister's conversation any longer."
"become!"
The logistics director went into the office and closed the door.
"Why are you here?"
The minister looked at the logistics director.
“Our housing application from the year before last was approved. Last month, the railway bureau employees moved into the apartment building. More than a dozen courtyard houses in Mianhua Hutong became vacant, and the housing bureau allocated those houses to us.”
The logistics director said, "That's why I came over to tell you as soon as I got the call. You see, we haven't allocated housing here for four or five years. Shouldn't we arrange housing for all the employees who applied this time?"
Upon hearing this, the minister replied, "Why can't this be arranged? Of course it must be arranged!"
After he finished speaking, he paused and said, "Jiang Ci is the last diplomat to join this year. Given the length of time she has been on duty, will she be able to be allocated housing?"
The logistics director pondered for a moment, then said with some difficulty, "I'm afraid... she'll have to wait until the next room allocation to get her a room."
These days, housing is in high demand. Even if you become an administrative employee, you still have to honestly apply for and wait for housing allocation.
"I've read her application. Comrade Jiang and her family are currently staying at a friend's house. The four of them are living in a 40-square-meter apartment, which is indeed a bit cramped," the logistics director said cautiously, observing the minister's expression.
The minister told him, "Comrade Jiang has done a good job this time. Considering how long she has been with the company, it's already unfair to her that we can't give her a raise."
The logistics director nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, I'll go back and see if I can get it arranged."
The news that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was going to allocate housing spread even before the logistics director had left the minister's office.
Those who haven't been allocated a house yet and are living with their parents are naturally the happiest; who wouldn't want to have their own house to live in?
Anyway, people who have enough years of service but haven't been allocated housing are quite happy.
When Jiang Ci met Liu Ke on the road, she heard her talk about the housing allocation.
Jiang Ci's eyes were certainly bright, but after the initial excitement, she quickly calmed down. "I haven't worked long enough, so I probably won't be eligible for housing this time."
Liu Ke knew that her family was still staying temporarily, and looked at her with pity, saying, "Your performance is excellent. Maybe the higher-ups will allocate you a house ahead of schedule as a reward. I'll ask my dad about it later."
"Sure, thank you for your help." Jiang Ci smiled at Liu Ke, then whispered to her, "Maybe you'll be helping me next year."
Liu Ke was shocked, her eyes widening.
Jiang Ci smiled and waved the document in her hand.
The two didn't talk for long before Jiang Ci quickly returned to her post and continued working.
Shan Lian leaned her head over and asked, "You seem quite pleased. Did the minister approve the proposed list?"
"You replaced half of my people, and the result was pretty good." Jiang Ci's lips curled up, clearly pleased.
Jiang Ci deliberately listed so many people.
After all, they need people, so it's normal to play a little trick on the minister.
Otherwise, if she had simply written down the names of the people she needed, the minister might have rejected all of them.
Jiangci needs capable subordinates to do things, so it must first have people under its control.
"Then I'll have to be responsible for packaging design in many countries?" Shan Lian's eyes widened, looking like she was about to collapse from exhaustion.
Jiang Ci glanced at her and smiled, "If you're too busy, I can find some more people to help."
Upon hearing this, Shan Lian quickly shook her head, "No, I can manage! I'm so young, this is the time to strive, how could I possibly say I'm tired!"
She'd love to have more work!
Shan Lian looked full of energy again.
Jiang Ci chuckled, "Then go to the library of Peking University or Huazhong University of Science and Technology and find some books to read. Otherwise, when I ask you to do a design in a while, you won't even know what I'm talking about."
Shan Lian stuck out her tongue. "You really underestimate me!"
Clutching her sketchbook, she stood up. "I'm not talking to you anymore. It snowed heavily yesterday; Weiming Lake must be beautiful. I'm going to sketch!"
